The Odisha government has approved industrial investment proposals worth INR 3,793 crore with the potential to generate employment for more than 19,000 people across multiple sectors and districts in the state. The approvals were granted during a meeting of the State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) chaired by Chief Secretary Anu Garg in the past week.
A total of 24 investment proposals received clearance from the authority, covering a broad spectrum of industries including steel and metal downstream manufacturing, renewable energy, advanced materials, electronics and electric vehicle components, textiles and apparel, tourism and hospitality, infrastructure and logistics, food processing, consumer products, chemicals, and emerging technology segments.
The approved projects are proposed to be established across 14 districts of Odisha, namely Khurda, Dhenkanal, Jharsuguda, Koraput, Jajpur, Sambalpur, Keonjhar, Bolangir, Puri, Cuttack, Sundergarh, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur and Mayurbhanj. The geographical spread of the investments indicates continued efforts by the state administration to promote industrial development beyond traditional manufacturing centres and encourage economic activity across multiple regions.
Among the notable projects to secure approval is a proposal by AVP Star Private Ltd to establish a lab-grown diamond manufacturing facility in Khurda district. The project entails an investment of INR 500 crore and is expected to strengthen Odisha's presence in advanced manufacturing and high-value industrial segments.
Another major proposal approved by the authority is from CESC Green Power Ltd, which plans to develop battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Dhenkanal district. The project involves an investment of INR 683.83 crore and forms part of the growing focus on energy storage infrastructure to support renewable energy integration and grid stability.
Officials stated that the approved investments collectively have the capacity to create employment opportunities for over 19,000 people. The projects are expected to contribute to industrial expansion, enhance manufacturing activity and support economic development across the districts where they are proposed to be implemented.
The latest round of clearances reinforces Odisha's ongoing efforts to attract investments across diverse sectors through its single-window approval mechanism. By facilitating projects in both traditional industries and emerging technology areas, the state continues to position itself as a destination for industrial and infrastructure investment while seeking to expand employment generation and regional economic development.
